Are these the JDM visors or AVS visors? If it is the JDM ones, I would feel pretty sick at the moment. I'm not sure for AVS visors but for the JDm ones, I know that you can't just buy one visor to replace, you would have to buy an entire set. Sorry for your loss and good luck.

Sure someone didn't steal it?

Unfortunately, the visors are usually sold in sets only, maybe you can contact the manufacture and see if they can just sell you individual pieces, but as far as i've seen, people just have to order a whole set.

I'd buy the set and sell the rest for people who might need them.

Try classifies. Start a thread there. You get lucky, members that were in your same situation before might have what you need. Or buy the whole set and sell you incomplete set in the classifies.

Hopefully they're AVS, and he just buys a new set. If they're JDM, I pour out a little motor oil for my fallen brethren...

Sorry to hear that you lost the visor. It may have been stolen since that tape is usually pretty good at grabbing, even if it's only partially on. You can test some by cutting a small piece and partially sticking it where the the visor would sit.

Good luck in finding your replacement.
